Placa de Recolocación del Trocánter Mayor (GTR)，Sistema de Fijación del Trocánter Mayor，Placa de Gancho Femoral Proximal con Sistema de Cable，Placa de Cable para el Trocánter Mayor

Features:

1. Material: Constructed from implant-grade titanium, ensuring biocompatibility and corrosion resistance. This material is lightweight while providing exceptional mechanical strength, making it ideal for orthopedic applications.
2. Design: Anatomic Contouring, the plate is anatomically contoured to fit the proximal femur, specifically designed to support the greater trochanter region. This allows for easy adaptation during surgery and minimizes the need for intraoperative bending. Two proximal hooks engage the superior tip of the greater trochanter.
3. Locking Holes: Equipped with multiple locking holes, designed to accommodate 5.0 mm locking screws. These screws provide stable fixation and reduce the risk of screw loosening or backing out over time.
4. Cable Fixation: The plate is designed to integrate with cable fixation systems, enhancing stability in cases where reattachment of the greater trochanter is necessary. This feature provides additional stabilization for complex fractures or osteotomies.
5. Biomechanical Stability: The combination of locking screw technology and cable fixation offers superior biomechanical stability, ensuring optimal fixation for various fracture types or post-surgical bone healing scenarios.
6. Sizes & Customization: Available in multiple sizes (e.g., 6, 8, 10, 12 holes), ensuring proper fit based on patient anatomy and surgical requirements. The plate offers up to 12 holes for customization, allowing surgeons to adapt the fixation based on specific clinical needs, enhancing the versatility of the device.
7. Low-Profile Design: Designed with a low profile, minimizing soft tissue irritation post-surgery and promoting better patient comfort during recovery.
8. Compatibility: Fully compatible with industry-standard locking screws and cable systems, making it easy to integrate into existing surgical practices.

 

Intended Use:

The Greater Trochanteric Reattachment (GTR) Plate is designed for orthopedic surgery, specifically for reattaching the greater trochanter to the femur following fractures or osteotomies. The plate helps restore the anatomy and biomechanical function of the proximal femur by providing stable fixation. It is particularly useful in procedures that require stabilization of trochanteric fragments or greater trochanter osteotomy, which are often performed during total hip arthroplasty.

 

Indications:

The GTR Plate is indicated for:

1. Trochanteric fractures: Fractures involving the greater trochanter, especially where stabilization of this region is crucial.
2. Osteotomies: Surgical procedures where part of the bone is cut and repositioned, specifically in the proximal femur.
3. Non-union fractures: Reattachment or stabilization of chronic non-union fractures involving the greater trochanter.
4. Greater Trochanter Osteotomy in Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA): Often used in revision surgeries to stabilize the greater trochanter after osteotomy in complex hip replacements.
5. Proximal femoral fixation: When additional fixation is needed in proximal femoral fractures to ensure stabilization, especially in elderly or osteoporotic patients.

 

Contraindications:

The GTR Plate should not be used in the following situations:

1. Active infection or sepsis: If the patient has an ongoing infection at the surgical site or systemic sepsis, implantation should be avoided.
2. Severe osteoporosis: In cases where the bone quality is so poor that stable fixation cannot be achieved.
3. Inadequate blood supply: Patients with compromised blood supply to the greater trochanter or femoral region may not heal properly with the use of this plate.
4. Known hypersensitivity to materials: The plate is typically made of materials such as titanium or stainless steel, so any known allergies or sensitivities to these materials would contraindicate its use.
5. Severe obesity or comorbidities that increase the risk of complications during or after surgery.
